Very likely the first of the four Gospels to be written, Mark presents an intriguing and puzzling portrayal of the disciples with predominantly negative overtones. In Resisting Jesus, Mateus de Campos proposes that the evangelist's characterization should be understood under the rubric of resistance--a willful disposition against Jesus' self-revelatory program and his discipleship prescriptions. Utilizing a combination of narrative and intertextual analyses, de Campos demonstrates that Mark's portrayal of resistance to Jesus follows a specific plot dynamic that finds its fundamental framework in the Scriptural depiction of YHWH's relationship with Israel. The study provides fresh insights into how the evangelist's negative characterization of the disciples fosters a Scripturally-informed reflection and admonition concerning the nature of discipleship.
